PROCEEDINGS OF THE FIFTH NATIONAL WORKSHOP ON THE ASSESSMENT OF SITE CONTAMINATION

The Fifth National Workshop on the Assessment of Site Contamination was held in Adelaide in May 2002 and the proceedings of that workshop are available for free download below. The workshop was sponsored by enHealth Council, Environment Australia the National Environment Protection Council and the Environment Protection and Heritage Council and was organised by NEPC Service Corporation.

A fully bound printed copy of these proceedings can be purchased by contacting NEPC Service Corporation.

The objectives of the workshop were to:

  • provide a forum for the discussion of protocols and policies for the risk assessment and management of contaminated land,
  • help the development of a consistent approach to the risk assessment and management of contaminated land across Australia,
  • encourage the interchange of state of the art information and ideas, and
  • establish the basis for soil criteria for a range of substances and landuse scenarios.

Much valuable information was presented at the Fifth Workshop and publication of the proceedings is intended to make the information more widely available.

The papers in these Proceedings do not represent the views of enHealth Council, Environment Australia, the Environment Protection and Heritage Council, the National Environment Protection Council nor the employing organisations of the authors and will not necessarily be incorporated into future policy. Some papers have been published as presented without significant editorial revision. Some papers have been modified to reflect comment provided during and after the Workshop.

The complex processes for the assessment and management of contaminated land are evolving rapidly. Any comments on the papers in this document may be provided to the NEPC Service Corporation.
